Layouts
The following layouts have been described by the authors themselves. The Guild would like to thank them all for their efforts in preparing and presenting the materials, all of which include videos, in being prepared to share their wonderful efforts and in sharing and explaining the secrets of their modelling techniques. Two of these are located in Australia, one in Ireland, one in the USA and one in Germany.
An inspiration to all.
